Cooling
NOTE: If debris builds up on the grass screen or
other cooling air intake areas, stop the engine
immediately and clean. Operating the engine
with blocked or dirty air intake and cooling
areas can cause extensive damage due to
overheating.
WARNING: Hot Parts!
Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To
prevent severe burns, do not touch these areas while the engine
is running, or immediately after it is turned off. Never operate
the engine with heat shields or guards removed.
Engine Speed
NOTE: Do not tamper with the governor setting to
increase the maximum engine speed.
Overspeed is hazardous and will void the
engine warranty. The maximum allowable
high idle speed for these engines is 3750 RPM,
no load.
Maintenance Instructions
Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission
control devices and systems, which are being done at
the customers expense, may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
Warranty repairs must be performed by an
authorized Kohler service outlet.

Disabling engine. Accidental starting can cause severe
injury or death. Before working on the engine or equipment,
disable the engine as follows: 1) Disconnect the spark plug
lead(s). 2) Disconnect negative (-) battery cable from battery.
Stopping
1. Remove the load by disengaging all PTO driven
attachments.
2. For Carbureted Engines Without A Shutdown
Solenoid: Move the throttle to the slow or low
idle position. Allow the engine to run at idle for
30-60 seconds; then stop the engine.
For Carbureted Engines Equipped With A
Shutdown Solenoid: Position the throttle control
somewhere between half and full throttle; then
stop the engine.
For EFI Engines: Move the throttle to the slow or
idle position; turn key off to stop engine.
Battery
A 12 volt battery is normally used. Refer to the
operating instructions of the equipment this engine
powers for specific battery requirements.
If the battery charge is not sufficient to crank the
engine, recharge the battery (see page 13).
Operating
Angle of Operation
This engine will operate continuously at angles up to
25°. Check oil level to assure crankcase oil level is at
the “F” mark on the dipstick.
Refer to the operating instructions of the equipment
this engine powers. Because of equipment design or
application, there may be more stringent restrictions
regarding the angle of operation.
NOTE: Do not operate this engine continuously at
angles exceeding 25° in any direction. Engine
damage could result from insufficient
lubrication.
